Watches and fans and messes...OH MY!!

I found these watches at an antique store a couple weekends ago and just had to bring them home with me.
I have never seen any like them...have you?? So unique. 

This is what I REALLY should be doing today, but instead I decided to clean a fan and take photos? wow...lol!! 

I am working on filling up my new/old cabinet that has an old screen door attached. I just love it!!  That little white
basket won't stay on that stand, but we are *a work in progress* here at the moment.  

Don't you just love this cabinet? I want another one for the other wall. I can guarantee you that I could have them both filled up in no time flat! ha! 

Isn't this a neat old fan? I have loved this fan from the moment I found her {several years ago| and I use her every year.  I noticed today that she needed a good cleaning. Have you ever tried to take apart and old fan? They don't have screws that make it easy like the fans now-days. After studying her for awhile, I realized the front grill comes off so that is how
I had to clean the whole fan.  

I even had to clean the backside of the blades from the front which was very interesting, but she looks much
better now. :)  Love her soft aqua color. 

Something about neutrals just speak to my soul...

Yea...the fan pics were supposed to be at the end of the post , but Sandi goofed again. lol

Happy Wednesday and be sure to enjoy life!!


 

Scrabble...dressed up in their Sunday best

My previous post was going to be my White Wednesday

post...until I created these.

{you can still read my previous post too lol.}

I call these

Scrabble in their Sunday best.

I must admit that I got the idea to paint them white

from the latest Country Living magazine, but I

wanted to make them even prettier so I also added

ribbon and roses.

When I saw the holders painted white it was one of those,

*why didn't I think of that* moments.

I left one of the ribbon tails long so it can be swooped

in front of it like they are on my table.

I have a few listed in my Etsy store and I can also take

custom requests.

Happy WW and Happy Thanksgiving!!

I will also be linking up with Kathleen this week. Blessings~

All *scrabbled* up

Our oldest son and his family were visiting over the

weekend and I found myself all *scrabbled* up!

{Now my husband would tell you that I am usually

all scrambled up I am sure , but this is different. lol.}

I have several scrabble words sitting around the

house and he thought the wording should be changed up

a bit. I didn't even notice this until late last night!

Give tan was originally *vintage*...

Bedless was originally *blessed*...

Sent was originally *nest*...

and Ye Join Elf was originally

*ENJOY LIFE*...

and that he does! He definitely enjoys it to the

fullest and I enjoy his antics every now and then.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend too!

Blessings~

While I was out and about...

and you were inside,

just look at all the wonderful goodies I found.

These were marked as vintage bingo pieces.

I have never seen any like these, but whatever they are

I love them.

I also found an old game with these adorable

small cards inside. I need to find more of these!

Love these three spindles.

Not sure what I will do with them yet, but

had to pick them up.

corks, corks, corks....

$1.00 for a large bag at the goodwill.

Yep, I counted them...56.

vintage hangers at a garage/estate sale

a couple dollars for these and more.

not one...not two...but three vintage scrabble games!

I had not been able to find them for a long time and I found all these the same day! One at a sale for 75 cents, the other two at the goodwill. yay!

The thing about having a booth at the antique store is that I have to shop to keep it stocked! What a shame. I know most of us do not like to do that. lol!

Have a beautiful Friday!
